Hundreds of homes and businesses are without electricity this morning following a power outage.

Roughly 350 energy customers have been affected by the outage in Bexhill.

The power failure covers the TN38 9, TN39 3 and TN39 4 postcode areas, including parts of Bexhill and the outskirts of Hastings.

UK Power Networks is working to restore power by around 11am this morning.

A spokesman for the firm said that an underground electricity cable faulted on their high-voltage network, causing the outage.
